Opening .sdf database files on PocketPC - General Topics

Hi,
What is the most convenient application to open a .sdf database file on the Pocket PC ?
I have tested Microsoft Query Analyzer, but it is really not convenient to access the database for reading its data. Microsoft Query Analyzer is for development purpose, I guess. What application is able to display a .sdf database to use it for reference ?
Thanks for your advice, Chris

Write your own using .NET CF. It's not that hard.

Do you know a good tutorial giving an example of viewing a .sdf on a PocketPC ?

Hi guys !
I have found an application able to display the content of a .sdf file, it is: Pocket DB.
Unfortunately although the application features are great, the application interface is horrible.

Hi Jockey,
Check out XSForms and XSDesigner by GrendaSoft - I use their database designer and forms tool to run a DB on the PPC for asset audits. They've done some work on barcode entry too, and you can either sync to Access DB via activesync (there's plenty of info about doing so on their forums), or simply export to XML or CSV file which you can then import into a database.
These apps are both currently free.

Security problem in Resco photo viewer

I think this might be of interest to some people, and since I haven't seen anything about it on the site I figured it should be posted.
There was a security vulnerability found in Resco photo viewer that may allow remote access and data theft from Windows Mobile based phones when opening corrupt PNG files.
Read here and here.
Being a bit surprised that a simple image file could cause such serious problem I looked it up and ran in to this old page giving some more details on the subject (this is for PC version of the PNG library though)

Secure Password Application

Hi All,
I've tried searching the forums, but couldn't quite find what I was looking for.
In my line of work, I have the need to many different complex passwords. Each of which change at different intervals, and have different logins.
I am looking for:
An application which will securely store my passwords on my device. I used to have a fantastic memory, but more recently due to the increase in accounts and password policies, I find I am using the "I forgot my password" routine more frequently. Ideally something I can use on both the main PC and sync with the device would be cool, but not essential.
I've looked at SplashID and CodeWallet Pro.
Are there any applications the folks within XDA Devs can recommend?
Cheers
WTFH
PS. Don't suggest Post-It's stuck to the monitor, or using my memory!
I'm using KeePass, on both the PC and my WM6 device.
PC version is at: http://keepass.info/
PPC version is at: http://keepasssd.sourceforge.net/
My password file is in a folder I sync with the desktop.

My vote for KeePass.
Awesome program.

Possible to use "Save" method in a local .htm file to save XML updates?

I am researching the possibility of using MSXML to update XML records on Windows CE devices using only pocket internet explorer. I was able to open and edit XML files using a local web page, but could not successfully save the results of an update. I tried the "save" method of a ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDom") object. This works fine on a PC as long as I save the webpage with the .hta extension, but results in a Permission Denied error when I save the web page with the .htm/.html extension. Win CE doesn't seem to support the .hta extension.
The two biggest restrictions for my project are:
1) Cannot "install" software (.cab,.exe) on the devices due to security policy and
2) There is no data connectivity on the devices.
So my questions are, "Is it possible to save a file using javascript inside a local web page on a Win CE/Windows Mobile device? If so, how?" The file happens to be XML, but the solution need not involve only XML objects as I can readily access the content as plain text.
My best guess is that it is not possible without some sort of windows CE equivalent of the pc .hta file. Anyone? I appreciate any hints/comments that can help.
Thanks,
Dan

[Q] What Android database apps exist?

I currently use a WinMo phone but might move over to Android. I have several large databases (1200+ records) so I use Handbase. I was wondering what database apps exist for Android. From what I'm told the iPhone version of Handbase is rubbish, is the Android version any good?
I've had a quick google search and didn't find anything and it looks like I can only search Android market via an Android phone which I don't own yet.
What I need from a database is to be able to import my existing databases (probably as a .cvs file) then easily filter the records. The simplest and best database program I've ever used was on my Psion 5, handbase (winMo) is a close second. Other than Handbase are there any other decent database apps out there and is Android Handbase any good?
I don't know of a good database app, but you can browse the market with Cyrket:
http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=database&market=android&sort=
There you also see HanDBase and others
Or search with Appbrain's website.. http://www.appbrain.com/
That was quick, I'm at work and a bit busy to have a proper look at the links, I'll look later.
Thanks for the quick replies.
Just to be clear, are you looking for an app that can read your current database files? Or just any database application (do you have any requirements E.G. GUI, Sql console, RDBMS transactionality?) For example, are you looking for "A database" in the same way that MS Access is "a database" (Hint: it isn't it's just a GUI) or "a database" in the way MySQL is.
Android has binaries for SQLite built in and searching for sqlite in appbrain should give you a number of front-ends for that.
